The End
Romeo walks down the stairs of the tomb and finds Juliet lying on her casket. He goes over to her to see her and finds that her skin and lips have not changed color at all. She looks to be alive. Romeo picks up Juliet and calls her by name, almost screaming at her. Juliet makes a noise and Romeo knows that she is alive! Romeo keeps calling to her and finally Juliet is conscious. Juliet throws her arms around Romeo.
Romeo hears something behind them and turns around to see what it is. He sees that it is Count Paris. Count Paris is shocked to see Juliet alive. He draws his sword and challenges Romeo to a duel. Romeo accepts the challenge so he puts down Juliet and draws his sword also. The two of them thrust their swords at each other for a battle to the death. Paris cuts Romeo on the arm leaving him with a deep and bloody wound. Romeo then strikes at Paris and slashes him across the chest.
Paris falls to the ground dropping his sword on the way. Romeo goes to finish Paris when Juliet jumps in front of him. Romeo is stunned by Juliet’s actions. Juliet tells Romeo to put his sword down, but Romeo isn’t so sure on whether or not he should. Juliet tells Romeo that she loves Paris and that she and Romeo can no longer be together.
Romeo is outraged so he takes his sword and puts it right through Paris’s heart. Juliet drops to her knees, bawling over the loss of her fiancé. She turns around and picks up count Paris’s sword, standing to face Romeo. Romeo refuses to fight her so he drops his sword looks Juliet straight in the eyes.
Juliet is filled with so much rage that she grabs the sword with both hands, points it toward Romeo, and drives it into his chest. Romeo falls to his knees, gasping for air and tells Juliet that he loves her. Romeo falls to the ground, dead. Juliet walks out of the tomb and no one ever sees her again.
The Montagues and Capulets find Romeo, Paris, and no Juliet. They have no idea what happened or when it happened. All that they know is that it wasn’t the other families fault and it always has been.







Quote Interpretation Prince V,
'For never was a story of more woe,
Than that of Juliet and her Romeo.'
In this quote the prince is saying how sad their story is. They were so young and had so much ahead of them. They went through all of that trouble to be together and it ended in death. All they wanted in life was to be with each other. They wanted to be happy together without having to keep their marriage a secret. It's their families fault that this happened. If they had been able to tell their parents none of this would've happened.
The quote is important to the play because it ties up the end of the story. It shows how sad their death is. It states the fact that they went through tons of trouble and now they can't be together. It also expresses how much Juliet and Romeo loved each other.
